Having issue restarting database after switching mount point

We needed to change the mount point of the disk that has our mount points, so instead of going to /opt, it going to /opt/san/mdb4. I have created a control file to use to start up the database, but I'm still having issues. Here is part of the control file:
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE SET DATABASE "INVEST" RESETLOGS NOARCHIVELOG
MAXLOGFILES 64
MAXLOGMEMBERS 2
MAXDATAFILES 254
MAXINSTANCES 16
MAXLOGHISTORY 1815
LOGFILE
GROUP 1 (
'/opt/san/mdb4/db02/oradata/INVEST/redo01a.log',
'/opt/san/mdb4/db03/oradata/INVEST/redo01b.log'
) SIZE 50M,
etc....
DATAFILE
'/opt/san/mdb4/db02/oradata/INVEST/XXX.dbf',
'/opt/san/mdb4/db03/oradata/INVEST/XXX01.dbf',
'/opt/san/mdb4/db07/oradata/INVEST/XXX02.dbf',
'/opt/san/mdb4/db07/oradata/INVEST/XXX03.dbf',
'/opt/san/mdb4/db03/oradata/INVEST/XXX04.dbf',
'/opt/san/mdb4/db03/oradata/INVEST/XXX05.dbf',
'/opt/san/mdb4/db03/oradata/INVEST/XXX06.dbf',
etc...
CHARACTER SET UTF8
All of the files are in the correct spot. I have also edited the init.ora file so that the directories are correct. This is the error that I get every time:
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE SET DATABASE "INVEST" RESETLOGS NOARCHIVELOG
ORA-01503: CREATE CONTROLFILE failed
ORA-00449: background process 'DBW0' unexpectedly terminated with error 7446
ORA-07446: sdnfy: bad value '' for parameter .
I am running Oracle 8.1.7 on Sun Solaris 8 (SunOS 5.8).
Does anyone have any idea what is going on? Let me know.

According to error message you have syntax error in your create statement. double check it.
ORA-07446: sdnfy: bad value 'string' for parameter string.
Cause: The directory specified as the value for the stated parameter could not be used.
Action: Make sure the directory you have specified is a valid directory/file specification.

    Is anyone else having issues with airplay after the Lion update? It sees the libaray but won't connect...

  • Creating database in other mount point

    i had installed oracle 10g in mount point u01 but i want to create database in mount point u02
    how can i do this??
    i had to do this by using dbca

    This is the same as yesterday's question:
    creating mountpoint after installation
    Whatever you did yesterday when you typed "u01", just do the same but type "u02".
    There was no need to create a new post just for this.
    Perhaps you need to spend more time reading what others have already posted into various forum web sites instead of splattering your questions and expecting others to tell you every minuscule step to do.

  • Having issues playing videos after the latest update

    After the latest update for ITunes, I am having issues with some of my videos.  Some of my videos will play while others in attempting to play them will play back choppy, at times the picture will freeze and then all at once the video will start fast forwarding to catch up to where it should be, and then at other times the video will cut out intirely, the screen will be completely black without the control areas in the top right corner or the center of the bottom of the screen even being visible.
    Have been unable to watch a large number of my TV series, and movies.

    Try playing videos directly in Quicktime:
    1.) Open Quicktime
    2.) Click File > Open File
    3.) Navigate to your iTunes folder
    4.) Movies are in iTunes\Movies\, TV in iTunes\TV Shows\, podcasts in iTunes\Podcasts
    5.) Select a video and open it
    6.) Watch in awe as Quicktime plays it perfectly, full screen option is in the View menu BTW.
    iTunes 10.7.0.21 is a disaster.

  • Having issues opening attachments after Mountain Lion Update

    Hello,
         I am having issues opening up attachments with the correct application in mail.  For instance, I received an email with a microsoft word attachment, even though, I have microsoft word installed on my mac it's telling me that it can't open it.  So, I have to then open it through preview.  Mail also doesn't want to print any attachments from the app itself.  I have to open it in Preview first and then print it.  I don't remember having to do that in Lion.  Is anyone else having this problem or have a fix for this? Or am I just going crazy here?  Thanks.

    I'm having the same issue.  So far all lion has done for me is make all my microsoft office documents un-readable until I upgrade (about $150) and lose my home share capabilities...can anyone assist with this?

  • Having issues with MacBook after PRAM reset.

    Hello All,
    I have a late 2009 MacBook, and have been having some minor performance issues and some problems with the trackpad. Changing system preferences failed to solve the problems I was experiencing so I decided to to a PRAM and NVRAM reset. Ever since the reset, I have been experiencing some new problems with the machine. Now, when I reboot I see no gray Apple screen. Nothing appears on the screen, in fact, until the log-in screen appears after about a minute. Second, I can no longer change the brightness with the keyboard commands, nor through system prefs. Lastly, I cannot wake the computer up after it enters sleep mode. I actually have to manually shut down the machine and turn it back on. Any ideas before I bring it to an expert?
    Also--first reset was with OS X 10.5.8, then I upgraded to ML. Trackpad issues have cleared up a little but all other issues persist.
    Thanks guys.
    J

    Try starting from the recovery disk and repairing the hard drive. Instructions from Apple:
    OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion includes a built in set of utilities in the Recovery System. Restart your Mac and hold down the Command key and the R key (Command-R), and keep holding them until the Apple icon appears, indicating that your Mac is starting up.
    Select and run Disk Utility. In DU select the startup disk and run Repair Disk.

  • "need to restart computer" after switching laptop hard drives.  HELP!

    i have a 13" macbook pro. I just got an older generation 15" macbook pro (refurbished from apple) because i need the pci port.
    i switched the memory
    i switched the hard drives
    15" macbook pro (the one i just got) works like a charm
    13" macbook pro keeps prompting me to restart the computer after the apple picture comes up. In other words, snow leopard won't even boot up
    Any suggestions???

    If you switched drives then your new computer now has an older version or an older build of OS X that cannot boot the new computer because it does not have the required hardware support extensions.
    You have two options: 1. Switch the drives back; 2. Reinstall OS X on the new computer using the discs that came with it. This will not erase your files but it will install a fresh copy of OS X that works with your new computer. A reinstall will take about one hour plus or minus.

  • Is anyone having issues with sound after upgrading RAM?

    I recently bought a 2009 Mac Mini with 1GB of RAM. Everything was working fine so I decided to upgrade the RAM to make running more apps a little smoother.
    I took it to KRCS (an Apple Premium Reseller) and they put in another 1GB stick. I took the MM home and booted it up but no chime. I loaded iTunes and songs wouldn't play. I couldn't even turn the volume up or down.
    After taking it back to KRCS they verified all the connections were ok and everything was seated correctly, however the sound still wont work. They ran some hardware diagnostics and they said that it is showing that there is a sound devicde present but it isn't showing any input or output devices once booted in to OS X.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions as to what could be causing this? Could it be a firmware issue do you think?
    Cheers,
    James

    Morning peeps
    As mentioned I booked my Mac Mini in with an Apple Genius to see if they could shed any light on the problem. So I saw a very helpful guy called James (go figure 8-)) who looked first of all looked to see if there were any reported problems by Apple. He also had a look around the net to see if there were any suggestions but unfortunately this all proved to be fruitless. He then tried booting from a clean drive to see if it was a software issue but this again failed, leaving him a little stumped.
    Finally after a few minutes of looking at verious hardware information he decided to look at the RAM as the Mac was reporting the new 1GB stick I had installed was from a different manufacturer. Again no luck and at this point I knew what was comming...
    "It doesn't look like I will be able to fix the problem today."
    After all his efforts he couldn't seem to solve the issue so the next stange involves replacing some of the hardware. He showed me that he had gone ahead and ordered a new sound board, the ribbin that connects it to the main board and something else which escapes me at the moment, all of which is covered under the waranty.
    So after all that the issue still remains. My Mac Mini is at the Apple Store at the moment and is awaiting the new parts to be installed. James was confident that it could be fixed with these new parts, however he did say that if it couldn't be fixed then Apple would replace it with a new one. He also mentioned that they would try and get the RAM upgrade working once the new hardware was fitted, but if that is unsuccessful he is going to give me the RAM back to get a refund at KRCS.
    I think I have covered everything there - sorry if I started to ramble a bit
    If you need any more information then I would be more than happy to help.
    Cheers,
    James

  • Having issues with WiFi after upgrading to iOS 7.

    After upgrading my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 I'm having WiFi issues that I didn't have with iOS 6.  For example, on my home network YouTube videos hang multiple times in a 1 minute video, Facebook pages with heavy duty graphics take forever or don't load, and running Ookla speed test, all the test are slower.  On every other computers in the house, download is faster than upload, except on the iPhone 5 with iOS 7.  Anyone else seen this?

    Do the basics first. follow http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398. I would also clear cookies and data in settings > safari.

  • Having trouble restarting computer after installing iTunes

    So I just finished buying my iPod Classic not too long ago. I use a Windows Vista computer (Gateway) and have attempted to install iTunes several times. Whenever I do and go to restart my computer, it stays stuck on the start-up screen. It refuses to boot up Windows. The same happens when I shut it down and try to start it back up manually. Eventually it'll give me an error saying that Windows could not start, so I go ahead and choose to let it check for problems, then it essentially forces me to do a System Restore on my computer to the point before I installed iTunes, with no iTunes installed at all. Is there anyway to fix this? o.O

    Is your iPod still plugged in during this time? If so, take it out and try again. Something similar happened to me and this ended up the culprit.

  • Moving the database to different mount point.

    Hi,
    I have R12 app tier on one server and 10gR2 database on separate server.
    I want to move the database files from /u01/oradata/PROD to /u02/oradata/PROD on the same server.
    I know how to do this for the database using alter database rename file .....
    But what do I have to do with the application and context files.?
    Do I just need to edit the values s_dbhome1, s_dbhome2, s_dbhome3 and s_dbhome4 to point to /u02/oradata/PROD and then run adconfig?
    Many thanks
    Skulls.

    I am not cloning, just moving the databaseI know, but Rapid Clone does also help (use the same hostname, domain name, port pool, ..etc except for the directory paths) -- Please note you do not need to use "alter database rename file" as Rapid Clone will take care of that.
    so I think manual changing datfile names is needed, followed by edit context file and run autoconfig?This is also valid.
    Thanks,
    Hussein

  • Mac Pro having issues with widgets after booting in 64-bit mode

    I tried the temp 64-bit boot (holding down 6 and 4 on startup), Mac Pro boots fine. I've noticed a difference in how my system runs n 64-bit. Much peppier. But the one thing I've noticed is that widgets are coming up strange. More specifically, The Weather Network, Conversion, and Translate widgets. The letters and numbers are coming up as outlined boxes. The drop down menus still work, the names just don't come up. ie. In the Conversion widget, the drop down menu name is boxes, but when you click on it, you can see the names of the selections. But as soon as you choose one, the letters turn to boxes.
    I've restarted my computer to boot back in 32-bit, and don't see the same issues. Is anyone aware of this, what's causing it, and if there is a fix? Thanks.

    HI Eric,
    Some widgets and browser plugins as well such as Flash aren't supported in 64-bit. Some widgets were originally written for PowerPC platforms.

  • Is anyone having issues with trackpad after install lion?

    Since I have installed Lion(clean install from flashdrive) my track pad makes me "click" and hold to move windows around. I use to be able to just "tap" without fully compressing the trackpad. Is anyone else having this issue?
    Thanks

    I've noticed peculiarities with the trackpad on both Mac laptops as well as the Magic Trackpad on our home iMac since updating to Lion.
    The biggest one is random right-click only where it seems the touchpad gets stuck in right-click mode. The only way to stop it is to "tap" rather than click and it seems to fix it. Otherwise, I've not had problems with dragging or anything.
    What you may try is turning the option off/on again in Trackpad under System Preferences that is giving you problems. I had this problem on our home iMac with the Magic Trackpad with three-finger drag. Works fine now.
